FCC Rejects Calls To Delay Net Neutrality Vote
The FCC intends to go ahead with a vote on Dec. 14 to repeal the net neutrality rules despite calls from Democrats and advocacy groups to delay the proceeding. The FCC said in a statement Monday that “the vote will proceed as scheduled on Dec. 14.”

Definitely looking out in the public’s interest. Hah! Shameful.
Why delay it..Dispose of Net Neutrality. If Obama and the Democrats thought it was good, well do the math..It’s bad!!
I’d like to think you have hard facts to back this up. Repealing net neutrality will allow ISPs to again charge companies extra to “fast lanes” and slow down ones that won’t pay. Think about it. For instance; Comcast owns NBC and all its properties. FOX refuses to pay Comcast for “fast lane” service, so FOX News channel’s website and other services suddenly get slower. Verizon was charging Netflix for “fast lane” services, and at some point, Netflix fought back. All traffic should be equal, no fast lanes, no prioritizing mine over yours. That’s what the net should be.
He has no facts, just political rhetoric. We can talk about many points concerning net neutrality, but the biggest question is if there supposedly will be no problem from ISPs with this change (and very little evidence that the current rules are squelching competition), why the big push to dispose of net neutrality rules? If you want the answer, just follow the big money (that would be the money, as @Kenn Baynard points out, to prioritize content into fast and slow lanes.) This is all about serving their corporate masters and noting to do with protecting the public interest.
